Operations Specialist (Recs SME) - Elite Hedge Fund - Up to £90k base + 50% bonuses (WFH flex)

One of the highest performing hedge funds in Europe, going through exponential growth of AUM, geographical coverage and headcount, are looking to make a newly created, specialist / SME hire for its London operations team.

Currently, all reconciliations are carried out by a fund administrator, but the firm will now bring the reconciliations process in-house – the new hire will buildout, manage & run this process. The hire will face off to senior managers and PMs – having accurate figures and on time data is essential to the desk, whilst ensuring that the reconciliations are carried out in a smooth manner. You will be the primary contact point for external providers / the hire will manage relationships with multiple prime brokers. Whilst reconciliations will be the primary focus of the job, the hire will sit with trader assistants, treasury and finance teams, with some cross-training included. Once the reconciliations piece is set up in house, the hire will be given plenty of autonomy to run a broader range of projects in operations / middle office – all things being considered, this is a highly visible and autonomous role in a world-class hedge fund.

The role will target providing the successful hire with a very attractive step-up on his/her current base salary, most likely up to £90k year-one. Top performing operations staff in the business typically earn 50%+ bonuses. It is possible to have some WFH flexibility in this role week-to-week.
